It can be hard enough going into college at a young age wondering what you’re going to do for the rest of your life. With that comes many opinions being thrown out from every direction while also being surrounded by many other young adults, each on their own unique journey. It can be hard to not compare or question your own journey and passions. Though just because there might be doubt or question, doesn’t mean you aren’t fit for whatever you’re interested in pursuing!

Although Art Therapy is her passion, she is beyond happy to be spreading the good "CooperRiis word" as she calls it, from coast to coast as their National Outreach Coordinator.
